Summary

The lions at the zoo are jealous of the new lioness because of her fancy name and because of the special treatment she receives from the zookeeper.

Once there was a lion named Shirley Williamson.

Media reviews

"Waber is back in full form with a story that is both hysterical and poignant. It succeeds on every level, offering a plot that prances along, characters that show the inevitable tangle of emotions life elicits, and artwork that is so funny yet sly that adults and children can both relish it. Shirley, take your place alongside Waber's perennial favorite, Lyle the crocodile." —Booklist, starred review Booklist, ALA, Starred Review

"A delightful adventure for reading aloud in humorous tribute to one of nature's most majestic creatures." —School Library Journal, starred review School Library Journal, Starred
